This Study Resource Was: Sec / 08 - 2 Sec / 0 Sec / 13 - 3

This document contains the solutions to 3 problems from a quiz on 2D dynamics in an engineering systems course on Coursera. Problem 1 involves calculating the angular velocities of several bars given the velocity of one point. Problem 2 involves locating an instantaneous center and using it to find the velocity of another point. Problem 3 involves finding the acceleration of a block given the angular velocity of one bar.
